Nothing in Leeds, clear blue skies and bitterly cold.

Bright sunshine here in Kent, but it was chilly :)

BMW's are dreadful in the snow. Kimberly is meant to be working with Luke tomorrow. She comes from out of town and has a BMW, I have told them to make contingency plans

I was wrong it was the woman driving it, not the man. John said she was trying to make adjustments with some onboard computer but it made no difference. She didn't want to leave the car away from the house as they've already had one stolen this year (£70,000!!) but she had no choice. John said she had the little girl in the car, she's at infant school, and he couldn't believe the language she was using in front of her daughter.

Tom's 10 year old Clio made it up here with no problems...

We now have about 5” of the white stuff. Kim and her BMW made it to Luke. Clever girl

We are going to visit shortly and I am going to drive as I need the practice

Still nothing much. We had a dusting at the end of last week but since then all we have had are cold dry days and freezing nights.

We were supposed to be on the edge of the amber snow warning area but all we have is grey sky, no wind and it is still below freezing at -1º.

We've walked 5 miles around the common and woods with Billy, my boots are mid-calf height and it's been over the top of them.

It'd almost all gone today.
We've spent 2 hours at the hospital tonight and come out to thick snow everywhere again. In an hour and a quarter we've come 5 miles. We've been stuck now on the same stretch of the A34 for over 30 minutes, apparently there's an accident up ahead and the road's blocked. Can't turn around and go another way around as that side's blocked too due to cars getting stuck going uphill.
